[pre-`] [`Heat]
If the oven is not at operating temperature, it will preheat. Meanwhile:
The word [Pre-`] [`Heat] will appear on the display for a few moments. The
Start/Stop key indicator light will flash slowly. The temperature of Channel 1 will
be displayed until the operating temperature is reached.
(The heat output indicator light - G, just below the display- will light up whenever
the controller is calling for heat.)
When the oven is at operating temperature (above the relative set point minus the
ready band) [Ready] will appear on the display and the Start/Stop key indicator light
will flash rapidly. You are now ready to cook with the active menu.
•If the oven is at operating temperature, the display goes directly to [Ready] without indicating preheat or temperature.
Note: You can skip preheat and go directly to the cooking sequence by pressing the Start/Stop key a second time.
Run a Menu (with preheat feature)
This procedure describes how to run an active menu when the preheat feature is active
(when the [ready] parameter in the [SetUp] function of the Configuration Mode is set
to [``yes]).
1. Select the menu you want to run as shown earlier in “Select a Menu”.
2. With [`idle] or time of day on the display, press the Start/Stop key.

5. Once the cooking sequence (and the probe sequence, if run) is complete, the unit will
switch to the Hold sequence.The display will alternate slowly between Hold and
count up time.
If the Hold time parameter [HtinE] has been set to 0, the unit will count up time
indefinitely. The hold sequence will end and the controller will go into idle when you
cancel the current menu by pressing the Start/Stop key.
If [HtinE] is greater than 0), the unit will run the hold sequence until the hold
time expires. It will then switch to the sequence described in 6.
6. When the cooking cycle is finished, one of the following will happen, depending on
the way the controller was programmed at [Etype] / [sound].:
